My dude Polar/Sonny Wong/ Viben Onerz is a god damn beast when it comes to graphics, graff, and comedy…….When we get together the jokes reach all-time high levels..

He has been the creative force behind the cover art for some of my illest projects (Remix Weaponry, Wax Weapons 31, and Strictly Weapons with Culpa One)…..Salute my dude….

Peep these new tees that he cooked up for all the hardrocks walking around the avenue with an ice-grill…..If you want to cop one, you can contact him HERE….………

Polar if your reading this- reserve one of these bangers for the kid..HAHA.

I’m quite sure you have heard plenty sample source mixes throughout the years……Some are corny and it seems as if their only purpose is to pull producers cards, and violate them by exposing their samples….

Others educate the listener and take them on a journey by paying proper homage to the original compositions….

When I first started hearing these types of mixes in the early 90’s, it got me open….Now in 2011 a DJ has to dig a little deeper in his crates to hold my attention (Many sample source projects recycle the same material these days) ….

Fake Blood (Yeah, I know the name is puzzling) goes all out on his latest mix, “Used Volume One”…….Sure you might hear a couple songs that you heard before, but for the most part he keeps it fresh and unpredictable……Listen to it front to back and get your mind right….

VIA-FAT LACE.

AWWW MAN, Ghostface Killah keeps the laughter rolling with his “10 Softest Rappers In The Game” rant……..Somebody had to step up and blow the whistle on these creeps…

Xav from the slept-on crew “Sons Of Sam” is back on the set for 2011 with this breakbeat platter of chaos….”Circle Traffic” will make you want to lace up your kicks and go for yours on the linoleum….

Take a listen trooper…

It’s been awhile since I slapped ya’ll with a Milkcrate Jewel, so without further delay here goes another rocket blast straight from the dungeons of my wax laboratory……

Earlier today while flipping through the stacks- I came across a record that I haven’t listened to in a minute…..Beat Nuts the “Rarest Nuts” L.P.

I caught this a couple years back and I was surprised it contained unreleased material, B-sides, etc….

One of the commercially unreleased joints that caught my attention was a cut called, “Robbed”…..It was probably made during the “Stone Crazy” sessions because it sounds similar to one of my favorite songs from that album “Find That”, except with a little more bounce…..

Eerie floating keys, Chuck D vocal sample, explosive drums, and plenty death threats = WIN….

I’m going to take you all the way to Staten Island for a heavy dose of Hip Hop shock treatment….

Wu-Tang affiliate Dark Skinned Assassin dropped the stellar Down Low Wreckage E.P. in the mid nineties….Ill crime stories,menacing production, and all that other hardcore shit….

After garnering attention for the project he ended up getting incarcerated for three years which slowed down the momentum of his musical efforts…….He now goes by the name Dr. Ama and he released an album entitled “Split Personality” a couple years back…..

Anyway, here is the download for Down Low Wreckage…….Turn the volume up and prepare for rough turbulence..

DONT SLEEP…

TRACKLIST-

“I’m the reason why you niggas rock Timberlands / you cock suckers make me nervous, stop fidgeting”…..

Peep out this brand spanking new joint “Boogie Bang” from Skoob of Das EFX fame…….At first I was a little skeptical, but after I heard the scratch sentences on the hook I knew I was dealing with a sure shot single….

VIA- BLACKOUT.

BEATS, BEATS, AND MORE BEATS……

Are you sick of listening to beat tapes that put you straight to sleep ?

Growing weary of instrumentals that lack the soul power you crave ?

With the steady influx of tinkerbell drums, corny as fuck synth lines, and unoriginal chops many are left scratching their heads wondering, “What the fuck happened?”

Don’t trip though trooper, that dude from Philly “Small Professor” has some production that will wake you up…..

TUNE IN…..

While scoping out the Crates Of AG blog, I stumbled onto a fresh remix project by a cat that goes by the name, “Debonair P”……His beats match up with the vocals perfectly, he rocks nice arrangements, and “P” even took the time to add some scratches to assist on the momentum factor…

It’s not often that a remix project captures my attention these days, but this joint kept me listening from front to back…..If your looking for some Monday Hip Hop morale, do the right thing JACK !!!!

DOWNLOAD….

It looks like the DoomStarks project is going to finally see the light of day…..

Zulu Nation DJ, “Lord Ron” blesses us with Preserving The Culture Mix #13…….No playlist this time around homeboy, but you already know how he gets down……Doubles, under the radar rockets, classics, blends, etc….

Over an hour of non-stop flavors

Peace goes out to all my AMAZULU’S worldwide……
